August 18, 2020 (MLN): Meezan Bank Limited has unveiled its financial results for the 1HCY20 ended June 30, 2020. As per results, the bank has reported its net profits of Rs 11.58 billion (EPS: Rs 8.97), showing significant growth of 65.38 % against net profits of Rs 7 billion (EPS: Rs 5.42) of the same period last year.

The robust growth in earnings was attributable to higher Net Spread earned (56% YoY) on the back of volumetric growth in assets driven by Power/Ijarah Sukuk. Moreover, a sharp rate cut did play to the bank’s advantage, AKD research mentioned.

During the period under review, Non-Funded Income (NFI) increased by only 8.6% YoY on the back of higher foreign exchange income, up by 21% YoY along with capital gains of Rs 965 million.

According to a report by EFG Hermes, Fee and commission income took a hit owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, however, a sharp improvement in NIMs offset weaker fee income.

Meanwhile, the overall other expenses surged by 26% on the back of higher operating expenses and workers' welfare funds.
